Rogan promoted the conspiracy theory that Epps was an “agent provocateur” for the feds, a baseless claim that has led to a defamation suit against Fox News.

    M8 all this article is is a shitty attempt to throw someone under the bus and brand them deep state and you’re buying it so hard.

      No need for deep state shennanigans. Cops incite protests to turn into riots. Standard pig bullshit. I haven’t reviewed the evidence in this case, but someone thinking police used agent provocateurs isn’t deep state conspiracy shit. It’s actually kind of expected. Get a donut and coffee. Violate some civil rights. All in a day’s work.

        Aight so that explains why the stormed the capital but why did they show up to a standard event that happens every 4 years? And why did they bring guns and tactical gear? And why did they build a gallows? They didn’t need cops to incite shit, they showed up with a plan and for once in US riot history the cops actions aren’t blatantly horrible yet it’s what everyone wants to point to this time. Interesting.

          I’m upvoting you because you’re making a good faith effort here. He’s not reasoning through this and thinking over what you’re saying, but someone else might be. I’m too tired to do it anymore myself though, so thanks for putting up the fight.

          I can’t believe the argument is the cops just decided to plant people to start an insurrection to storm the capitol just because they’re so used to doing it for other things. BLM protests, I assume he’s talking about…

          No. The storming is because they’re idiots. Regardless of if they were being incited by glowies, they’re all mentally deficient asshats. They showed up for the same reason: they’re idiots that listen to idiots. I’ve no clue who brought guns, but they’re fucking failures. Those people always have gravy seal outfits. Every protest should have a gallows and/or guillotine.

          I think you’re right, though, I don’t think they needed cops to incite any of it. I still 100% expect cops to do cop shit and I don’t think it’s insane to believe cops did exactly what we’ve seen them do thousands of times in the past.

            It’s all on film. Watch some blm protests and watch Jan 6th. Look at the police and tell me they’re just doing the same thing police always do when you’re done.
